Stumbled Upon

First of all,
I will be on here more often, and look forward to being active in this wonderful community once again.


Last year I was out in Grand Teton National park, and I was out early walking through the willow bushes to find a area to capture the Tetons in the morning light. I dragged my girlfriend with me,but she is not accustomed to this sort of thing at 4 am, lol. Anyways, I crossed a little creek in late may, and the water had to be around the same temperature as the air outside, 38 degrees. I happened to stumble upon this seen after being disappointed with my other work, and I was happy to find it. I hope it pleases y'all, and please leave thoughts and comments.

I appreciate all ideas, enjoy the day up.

Good news Ryan. This year's been tougher for me as well.

This scene works well. The foreground is a great setup; I love the placement of the reflection.

Thanks John,

I wished I had some of those amazing Teton clouds, but oh well next time.

I like the progression, front to back, from cool tones to the warm light on the peaks. Very nice
